Calhoun was effective as one of the first players off the bench for Florida State during the ’20-21 season. He left for Texas Tech last spring and played sparingly before leaving the program. While he has yet to prove he can carry a significant role at the D-1 level, Calhoun was the No. 4 overall JUCO transfer from the 2020 class and held offers from several high-majors. If he’s ready, Calhoun could form a solid duo with budding star Tucker DeVries at Drake. Highlights
